This.

And sometimes she’ll just stare at a wall.

Comes up and puts a paw on my arm or leg, but only when she feels the problem is serious. It could be water, food, liter box, or just a notion that I need to give attention due to hours working on some project or something; usually when I’m seriously hurting or sleep deprived. I’m always present, only ever leaving for doctors or a physical therapy routine. I’m accessible for both cats most of the time. The older seems to intuit not to abuse the gesture or use it often. When she does put her paw on me like that, I always look into the issue, so we’ve developed it as a form of direct communication that seems to work. I didn’t train her to do this, I did however train her to be quiet using positive reinforcement. We got the older cat about 6 months after I was disabled, so we’ve been through a lot together in the last 10 years.

I have a cat with a heart condition who sleeps in the middle of the floor with his eyes open. He is all black too so you can’t see if he’s breathing. It’s gotten me just so many times.

Another cat doesn’t eat directly from the bowl, instead she sits next to the bowl and spears food on her claws and licks it off like it’s a fork.

I don’t know how weird it is but my cat seems to understand that when faces are talking from the computer screen my hands will be free for the more important duty of skritching.

She has become a hit during team meetings, to the point where one time she was sleeping and didn’t come prompting half the team to send concerned DMs.

We had a cat that loves to be spun on our office chair. He would dig his claws into the seat while we spun the chair around and around. When it stopped, his head would do the dizzy circular-nod thing. Then he’d meow at us until we did it again. And again. And again.

Our youngest comes into the house mewing until someone replies.

One of my cats loves to jump up on people’s shoulders. We’ve been practicing, and I can walk around the house (slowly) with him up there.

When my cat is hungry and I’m at my computer, she will put her front paws up on my chair and then gently tap my leg to ask “food plz”. She increases in frequency over time.

He chews on everything - paper bags? Food. Our wooden furnature? Tasty! The metal folding chairs? Yum!

This same cat also breifly learned to turn off the internet and force us out when we were being too boring (such as when trying to fall asleep). We started locking him in a room overnight for a little while, and he seemed to forget how after that, luckily.

My cat, a 3 year old tuxedo, does this strange yawn-meow when it’s time for dinner. It’s a combination of him meowing mixed with a full wide mouthed yawn. Its especially funny because he only does it once per night shortly before feeding and he typically has a chirpy meow anyway.

The cat gets fresh water daily but wants to drink out of the bathroom sink. Water, soap, and toothpaste. Yum.

One of the cats likes to run out to the hallway of my apartment complex and roll on the carpet, for several minutes straight

I adopted a cat a couple of months ago. Every time I run a sink she comes running. It’s like her call or something. I don’t know what she’s expecting.
